Chapter 342: Difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts

"What?"

"Faces, faces, yes...several women's faces...just on the tree, right on the tree, they seemed to be smiling at me...eerie smiles..."

"Where are the faces? Did you mistake the shadow of the tree knot for a face?"

"Is the tree knot still a face? I can still tell it apart. It must be a face, but it's not an ordinary human. It looks a bit like a fey, no, a bit like a drow..."

"Or, let's go out. I feel like there are malicious eyes everywhere here."

"No, we have walked so far and have arrived at the main building. We are the first group of people who have walked so far. It would be a pity if we don't go in and take a look. Hang on, hold on, Mr. Mike, if you don't play the ecstasy now, when will you wait?"

"Okay, okay, okay, let's start now."

One of the merchants, a bard, woke up as if from a dream, and immediately put his instrument to his mouth and played it.

The cheerful sound of the harmonica instantly soothed everyone's uneasiness.

Cowardly, inexperienced, and playful.

This sentence is vividly demonstrated in this group of merchants.

They are just like those timid ghost movie fans.

Every time they are scared and scream, but they are reluctant to watch the following plot. Even if they drag a group of uninterested people, they have to force the movie to finish.

So far, the atmosphere of fear in the ghost manor is full, but it is more of a psychological suggestion, and there is no substantial scaring point that scares all these people away directly.

Creak!

The door of the main building of the manor was slowly pushed open, making a harsh friction sound, which immediately made everyone's heart lift.

It is obviously the same as new, how can there be such a sound of disrepair?

As the door was pushed open, a burst of flames jumped up.

In the dark corridor, two rows of candles were lit at the same time.

It's just that this kind of candle looks a bit strange, surrounded by a circle of black fog, and the burning flames are not red, but green. The light formed is weak and dim, and can only reach the level of barely seeing things.

Fuck! It's so insidious!

Everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

Such lighting is better than no lighting.

This is simply a natural cover for ghosts.

In this environment, even if a person is walking across, he can be mistaken for a ghost.

"Hey, there is a sign in front of it. What does it say?"

"It's too dark, I can't see clearly. It seems to say, congratulations on passing the first level of the Silent Courtyard. You are a real warrior who can face ghosts directly. The second level is the Haunted Main Building. There are three treasure chests in it. Two of them contain treasures, and one contains scares. Warriors are welcome to find them. The treasures in the treasure chests belong to the finder. The treasure chest is worth no less than a bottle of ghost wine."

"Ha... there is such a good thing? A treasure chest worth a bottle of ghost wine? That's at least 180 gold coins, what a big deal."

"What are you waiting for? Go find it quickly?"

"Don't be happy too early. Do you think treasure chests are so easy to get? Those places suitable for hiding treasure chests may not hide anything?"

Just when those merchants were aroused by the interest of the treasure chests and talked about it.

They didn't notice that they had been lured into the main building by this vague sign. The door behind them closed silently until the last moment, when it made a loud bang.

That situation seemed like a deliberate reminder to them.

The merchants who reacted were instantly furious and started shouting.

"Who closed the door? Who closed the door?"

"No one closed the door. We are not crazy. Who would close the door? The door closed by itself."

"Open it quickly, open the door quickly."

"It's useless. It can't be opened. The door seems to be locked."

"Aren't we here to visit? Why close the door? Why lock the door?"

"Open the door quickly. I don't want to play anymore. I want to go out."

"It's useless. I looked before. There is no one behind us. At least no one locked the door for us."

"Mr. Dame, now is not the time to pretend to be blind. Hurry up and use the ghost eye towel to see if there are other people or non-human friends hiding around us."

The door that closed by itself and could not be opened instantly raised the horror atmosphere to a new level.

Even if they were scared before, there was still some fun in it. At most, they would just run away and withdraw from the manor. At most, they would be laughed at by the merchants waiting there.

But now their retreat is blocked.

The merchant named Dame didn't care about anything else. He pulled out a black eye towel like silk and tied it on his eyes.

Dame suddenly felt a wisp of cool air coming from the black eye towel and soaking into his eyes.

His vision was not as seriously affected as expected. At most, it was a little blurry, but the picture quality changed. Things were no longer in color, but in black and white. This is the characteristic of the shadow plane.

From now on, he no longer sees things in the material world, but also those things that are half in the material plane and the other side is connected to the shadow plane.

Dame verified this matter in front of his eyes.

The ghost cloak sold at the auction happened to be restrained by the ghost eye towel.

This made Dame shout in his heart that he had made a profit.

In his heart, he secretly laughed at the owner of Vizeme Manor, saying that he was a fool. He actually auctioned off equipment with restraining ability at the same auction. He was not afraid that the restrained party would return the equipment.

It turned out that his worries were unnecessary.

Even though the invisibility ability of the ghost cloak will be restrained by the ghost eyeband, the flaws are not concealed, and other abilities are equally exciting.

What made the businessman regretful was that he did not have the foresight to take pictures of the ghost eye towels together, so that they could be sold in bundles, or they could just take off the ghost eye towels and not sell them to the outside world.

"How is it? How is it? Did you see anything? Are there other existences around us?" Other businessmen asked repeatedly.

"No, there is nothing. We are the only ones here." Damei's answer made everyone feel a little calmer.

"What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Of course we move forward. There can't be only one entrance to this building. There must be other exits. Let's look for them carefully together."

"Look for the treasure chest by the way."

"You really want your money rather than your life."

"If you didn't want money, would you be here? No one thinks money is too much."

laugh! laugh! laugh!

At some point, the weird music that had been lingering in my ears disappeared, and the entire main building became silent.

There was a sudden movement, which was particularly loud.

Everyone looked around and saw a broom swinging around the corner.

A broom is not scary.

But a broom that moves by itself without anyone holding it is scary.

Especially when the music that had been silent for a long time suddenly sounded loudly.

Several timid people collapsed instantly and shouted: "Ghost..."

Then he ran wildly along the dark corridor.

Under their influence, several people started running along without thinking.

Completely tear the businessmen who were gathered together into pieces.

A few people who were still rational shouted loudly: "It's not a ghost, it's not a ghost, it's an activated broom, just an activated broom."

"Don't run around. We don't know what's inside. That's dangerous."

As the emotionally broken businessmen ran wildly, green candles deeper in the dark corridor were lit.

The situation inside made the businessman, who had already suffered an emotional breakdown, scream and run faster.

Those who didn't collapse also had scalp numbness.

Those candlesticks are clearly wood carvings, dark, lifelike human-shaped wood carvings, with candles on their heads.

Each of these wooden sculptures looked at everyone with expressionless faces.

No, they seemed to be turning as the merchants passed by, always silently staring at the collapsed merchants, making their escape faster.

"Treasure chest, there's a treasure chest there."

"It's really a treasure chest."

Some sharp-eyed businessmen saw the big treasure box at the end of the corridor at a glance.

That treasure chest is very consistent with the world's perception of treasure chests. It is one meter long and half a meter high. It is more than enough for an adult to fit in. It is made of thick logs, has gold-rimmed silver locks, and iron-wrapped corners. It is extremely gorgeous.

"Don't open it, don't open it, don't open it. What I just explained is very clear. Only two of the three treasure boxes contain treasures, and the other one is frightened. Do you think that Mr. Gavin would be so kind and give us free gifts? ? Putting it in such an obvious place is probably more of a shock than a surprise.”

"That makes perfect sense. The location of this treasure chest is so conspicuous that only a blind man can't see it. There must be a trap in it."

"Perhaps someone is taking advantage of your thoughts and putting the real treasure box here so that you don't dare to open it. When you confidently open the other two treasure boxes, a big surprise will suddenly pop out. ”

"What you said is not impossible. In this case, I will leave this treasure box to you to open, and the treasure inside belongs to you."

"Haha... well... forget it. I came here not for the treasures, but mainly to see the reputation of Ghost Manor. Now that I have seen it, it is well-deserved. Let's find a way to leave quickly."

"Coward! The words you just said are solid, and I don't dare to confirm my feelings."

An extremely luxurious treasure chest was placed there, but no businessman dared to open it.

They have no concept of the shock mentioned in the instructions and dare not try it rashly.

And these are smart people. This treasure chest is so conspicuous and easy to find.

Wait for the other two treasure chests, and after opening the fright, it's not too late to go back and open them.

They had just entered the second floor along the stairs, when several figures loomed in the darkness and rushed towards them.

"Ghost!"

"Ghost!"

Both sides burst out screaming at the same time, turned around and ran away.

But before taking two steps, Meng Buding discovered that the entire corridor was shrouded in a faint black mist. The green candlelight became even dimmer, and it was impossible to completely distinguish the appearance of the other party after five steps.

The group of businessmen around him have disappeared, leaving only three or two kittens.

The corridor, which was clearly visible to the end, became extremely deep and winding, with side roads everywhere.

These businessmen couldn't help but have the illusion that they were no longer in the material plane, but had entered another world.

As for which world, you know without asking - the shadow plane.

Damme felt this the most deeply, because the black and white feeling was more thorough and obvious.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Damei instinctively thought that it was a lost friend, so she rushed forward to meet him, but after only taking three steps, she turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Because these footsteps were in unison, there was no sign of panic, and the sound of landing was unusually crisp, like the sound of steel nails hitting the stone surface, which was not the sound of adventure boots.

Other beings mixed in the black fog.

Although I knew that the other party would not hurt me, I didn't want to confront them.

Listening to the screams in the black fog, I knew that it was definitely not a good experience.

Dame didn't know how long he had been running in the black fog. There were fewer and fewer companions around him, and finally he was left alone.

In the black fog, he heard a noise, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to approach, but ran away.

Because no one knew whether the other party was a human or a ghost.

There were more and more non-businessmen mixed in.

Dame felt this clearly.
